But dude, seriously.
It's a 1-ton fwd hatchback, with skinny tyres. Quite possibly the best tool for slippery weather.
It's all about driving slower and anticipating the situation ahead.
If you had a RWD sportscar with fat rubber I could just about understand it in this country, until then I'll just view it as pointlessness.
When I skidded to a halt the other day it was on a very remote B-road which had not seen much traffic and I knew the ice was there! From less than 10mph to nothing took me a distance of about 5 meters to stop, triggering the ABS for a split moment. I never once thought I was going to bin it.
